Hi, I know this isn't the right thread, but its the closest I can get to having my question answered.

So basically I have a DROID RAZR HD XT926 rooted, with android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.42 and system version 182.46.10 which is downgraded using instructions from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/root-droid-razr-hd-xt926-183-46-15-t3062040

So what I want to do is unlock my bootloader. I have been trying for a few days and searched many forums but with no success. I didn't find any other method other than using motopocalypse. I have tried using the apk version from my phone and the app says bootloader is unlocked but when I check in fastboot mode it says device is locked and status code 0. When I use the pc method ( I have windows 10) it just shows daemon started successfully... and then u nothing.

If anyone could provide any assistance I would really appreciate it.

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. Most developers have given up and moved on to newer devices, so finding a way to unlock the bootloader is effectively impossible.

Help updating an old XT926

Hi

I have an ex-Verizon XT926, although I am in the UK. When I first got it I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader (and changed some obscure setting so that it would potentially work on GSM in the US). But I never actually updated the ROM or took any OTA. So it is still on Android 4.1.2, 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.

Although I'm being offered 9.18.79.en.US OTA, it won't successfully take that (presumably because I've rooted it, or because it doesn't like the version of TWRP I have installed).

I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.

What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow, if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

You cannot install updates unless full stock
You will need to flash a official (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.

What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow,

latest official rom is Kitkat 4.4.2,
Marshmallow may available in a custom rom like CyanogenMod 13 (cm13)

if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

I wouldn't use Rom Manager, Twrp version does matter, find a rom you would like to try, then ask in the rom ask in the Rom thread which TWRP version works best.
You will most likely need the Kitkat bootloader
I would just flash a official kitkat 4.4.2 (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

Awww
There must be some workaround

The XT926/XT925/XT910 bootloader can now be unlocked with Subnshine.apk
free to test compatiblity, $25 to unlock

are you installing gapps too, if so what version?

Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs

 

[xixboxcuttaxix]

I used the cyanogenmod app to download cm12 and the Gapps nano package for cm12. Also tried cm11 with and without its corresponding Gapps...just hangs on the duel core logo, cm12 hangs on the blue alien logo? Should I factory reset? Or will I lose my cm downloads and be screwed? Thanks for the assist

 

[xixboxcuttaxix]

Solution to my problem was to wipe internal storage,dalvic cache,system data and cache, the went great I have cm12.1 running smooth all gapps from nano package running well. Thanks for the help, cm12.1 is really nice.

Hello,

Thanks to many threads here I was able to fix my non so well working xt925 and installed a working CM 13, but right now I face a little issue :
Everything works fine (android, apps, ...), but when I restart the phone, instead of following the restart I ask it always goes into fastboot.
I can force reboot recovery, normal, whatever, it goes to fastboot.
I have then to type fastboot continue, or to reset into bootloader to hit the command Normal powerup to start launching android.

I haven't found much info about this as everytime I looked for it, I only got people stucked onto fastboot with broken recovery/os.
I am with a jellybean bootloader.

EDIT : I actually found the solution, get into fastboot mode, and type fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The device will then restart normally. I guess I hit factory mode at some point in my previous operations. Sorry for the useless question.

Martin

No custom ROMs work?

I have an XT925 with an unlocked bootloader and it was stuck in AP fastboot mode for some time before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0. RSD Lite still won't flash 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and just returns:

downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT

I can however flash stock 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 ROMs to my Razr HD using the Razr HD Toolkit (thread here), and flash a modified Canadian 4.4.2 OTA (from here) using RSD Lite.

For some reason though, no custom ROMs work. Many others (such as PACMAN) were hosted on GOO.IM or some other dead site (such as the unofficial Resurrection Remix), so they were impossible to download. I've only tried Dirty Unicorns, MIUI, CM11, CM12.1 and SlimKat, and only Dirty Unicorns could get to the boot animation. All other ROMs don't boot past the Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen (which has now been replaced with a Motorola Dual Core Technology one).

Any ideas?

Assalam o Alaikum!
I have moto xt926. It was working fine but now it's not accepting Sim Card. But sometimes it Accept Sim Card.
In Morning when i Turn ON my mobile sometimes sim works. But after 5 or 4 minutes it disappears automatically. Mobile phone is Rooted. I Rooted Phone 6 months ago but this problem came just a month ago.

How can i check that this is problem of hardware or Software?

I did Flash firmware after this problem but nothing changed.
